I had this issue under the 1.7.1 Released discussion, but thought it better to bring it to its own discussion to reach a wider audience. As originally posted and the thread thereafter:
Hi everyone. When I upgraded to 1.7.1, my primary links menu no longer displays on any page. I have run update.php and cleared the cache and tried to hunt down where the template is that creates the HTML etc., but can't find it. The only thing I changed was to edit the template.php file to deal with the error generated by the related_terms_links issue that has already been identified (is that fixed by the way?).
I can go to admin/build/menu-customize/primary-links and add/remove etc. with no problem, but still no blue primary links menu shows up. All the feeds work and Calais is also working like a charm when I view a given article created. I have no other errors on my test site so far (except the related_terms error I mentioned above).
When I took a look at the page source, there is no html code for the menu, so it is not as if it is a browser issue, but more like something on the back end when the frontpage is being created for viewing.
Any ideas where to look?
Had you changed theme in

Had you changed theme in 1.7.0 before upgrade (assuming you are using openpublish_theme)?
Just the openpublish_theme

No, I should have mentioned that, but no I have only been using the openpublish_theme. I had tried Tao at one point, but went back to the openpublish theme well before I did the upgrade to 1.7.1. Could there be some left over effects of having tried some other themes?
I tried today to change the theme from openpublish_theme for the 1st time since the upgrade to see if the theme was the problem and nothing would work - Garmin etc. Some error regarding the related terms problem. Not sure if that helps or not.
Any ideas how to get back my Primary Links Menu??

I have been digging around again today trying to figure out how I lost my Primary Links blue menu on top of my content using the OpenPublish Theme. Still no luck figuring this out. It is now becoming annoying to not be able to figure it out.
I also upgraded to 1.7.1-417, so now on the latest code base. That build fixed a few other niggly issues, but not my missing menu bar.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Cheers

Similar problem
My primarily link was no longer displayed after I tried to update from drupal 6.17 to 6.19. After spending quite some hours trying to figure out the problem, I tried debugging the php code that prints the primary link. I discovered that the if condition was not met and hence the link couldn't be printed. I removed the if statement but it still didn't work. Meaning the variable was kind of empty...
Apparently, my update wasn't successful and there were a lot of database warnings. Luckily, I had backed-up the database. So I imported the backed-up db and gave it a new name. I configured my settings.php accordingly and my primary links were restored:-)
So I guess my database was damaged during the update process.
